May 16 is a day that will forever be etched in the memory of all Hearts fans.

On this day in 1998 Hearts secured the Scottish Cup in a 2-1 victory over Rangers at Celtic Park ending a 36 year wait for a major trophy.

At times, Hearts struggled against a strong, but wasteful, Rangers team but still prevailed to pick up their first Scottish Cup since 1956.

The game was played at Celtic Park due to the construction of Hampden with Ibrox being used in the 1997 Cup Final.

The Jambos took an early lead when the referee Willie Young blew for a spot kick after just 38 minutes after Steve Fulton was foul on the edge of the area. Colin Cameron converted sending the travelling Hearts fans into bedlam early on.
